The Deputy District Education Officer (EDO), Chakwal has announced a ban on co-education for boys and girls studying in classes VI to VIII in the government schools of the district.
An official letter issued on Thursday asked authorities to exclude names of female students of classes six, seven, and eight from the enrollment lists of public schools that allowed co-education.
However, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Chakwal Education Authority took notice of the matter and issued a clarification in this regard.
Nullifying the earlier notification, the CEO said that it was issued without prior approval of the Deputy EDO.
“The instruction passed without prior approval of the authority by the Deputy District Education Officer […] Chakwal, vide letter No. 1729, dated 21 December 2021, regarding the prohibition of co-education at the elementary level is hereby canceled/ withdrawn as sub-intio,” the revised notification said.
It added that the names of female students will not be excluded from enrollment lists, but will be transferred to girls’ schools.
The children of Politicians, Army Officers and Government officers study in Private or Army Public schools. They have no problem there and guys and girls study together. But the same officers are making rules for government schools and segregating the poor segments of society. If you have to make rules then make rules for all Schools. Otherwise don’t make rules for one type of government schools only. Rules should be equal for all schools and students. Stop using the poor of Pakistan for Strategic depths please.
